London: NITC has flatly denied reports in the press that a 74,000dwt products tanker that her owner refused to allow to sail From Turkey to Iran to discharge her cargo, m/v Lia, was on charter to NITC. "We deny Chartering of (the) 74000 dwt product carrier and also deny that the indicated charter as claimed... has been part of a term supply contract with NITC," said Commercial Director H. Seyedan. As first reported on this site (http://www.seatradeasia-online.com/News/5847.html), NITC last week launched a new English-language website, www.nitc-tankers.com, in a bid to promote greater transparency about the company and staunch a spate of what it called "inaccurate and misleading" stories about it appearing in the press.
